Lewis Mill Ranch

At Lewis Mill Ranch, we cherish our faith, family, and the loving community of animals that we consider family too. The blessings we have received through the love and support of our Lord, Jesus Christ, enable us to thrive in an environment abundant with what we hold dear.

Our ranch showcases idyllic barns, expansive pastures with whispering pines, and a cozy pond, offering a perfect home not only to us but also to our beloved dogs, miniature donkeys, miniature horses, and the mystical Gypsy Vanner Horses.

Each of our animals, whether minis or Gypsies, is raised with supreme love and attention. Our ongoing mission is to ensure these breeds receive the recognition, respect, and appreciation they deserve.

Having started in the late ’90s, we have devoted ourselves to breeding and selling the affectionate miniature donkey, also known as donks or mini donks, focusing on superior bloodlines and conformation. Despite reducing the scale of our operations, we still revel in nurturing the gentle demeanor unique to donkeys.

The Miniature Horse, while petite like a pony, retains all essential traits of a full-sized horse. They are curious, charming, and affectionate companions.

In 2007, I discovered the captivating Gypsy Vanner Horse with its breathtaking beauty and magnificent traits. Extensive research into this UK-originated breed revealed its noble heritage and unique bond with humans.

Our acquisition journey began with a special Christmas gift in 2007 and subsequent additions in 2009 and 2011 from acclaimed lineages, offering us immense pride in being caretakers of these rare and enchanting horses. We extend our gratitude to the gypsy communities and The Gypsy Vanner Horse Society for preserving and sharing this treasureed breed, and we remain ever grateful to God for guiding our endeavors.
